I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
We grew up together; From the cradle to the grave; We died and were reborn; And then mysteriously saved.
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit; Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it; Using all the devices under the sun.
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you; It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
don't criticize; what you can't understand.
She once was a true love of mine
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the, scars.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
Well, you're so bad and nasty; But I love you, yes I do
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
My children will go, As soon as they grow.; Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town; This is the blind horse that leads you around
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense; I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
Cities on fire, phones out of order
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
Everybody's wearing a disguise; To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
I got nothing left to burn
Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear,; It's done with a flick of the wrist.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Praise be to Nero's Neptune; The Titanic sails at dawn; And everybody's shouting; Which Side Are You On?
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past; I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
the cops don't need you; and man they expect the same
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,; To see that you're madly in love.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
